Re: [platform-swt-dev] Architectural Details of SWT

There's a bit of overview doc in the eclipse Help system:
Help > Help Contents > Platform Plug-in Developer Guide > Programmer's Guide


Also, have you been to our recently-updated page: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/  ?
Under "Resources", "Books and Additional Documentation" you can find a few links to other overview-style doc.

All of the SWT articles on eclipse.org are still correct. The "Understanding Layouts" article needs updating to add some interesting new API, but it still accurately describes the basics of SWT layout.

Good luck,
Carolyn

Browsing the hierarchy in Eclipse can be very helpful in order to get an idea of who inherits from who.

The articles should still apply (we are API compatible) although we should publish a few more.  A good way to learn the API is to check out the snippets on the SWT home page.

Steve,

In the same line I just thought if there is a Class Hierarchy diagram or chart available for SWT anywhere. I am coming from the idea what Borland has for Delphi. They do have the VCL class hierarchy published so if there is any such document for SWT it will be of great help. Java doc can serve the purpose to an extent but it does not give the entire SWT hierarchy.

Also I was looking the articles published on Eclipse.org in SWT section. The articles are dated 2-4 yrs back. Is there any article which relates to SWT current version. I am sure most of the points made in the original article are either obsolete or improved over a period of time.

My 2.2 Cents (including GST)

Cheers :)

[platform-swt-dev] Architectural Details of SWT






Is there any websites or resources where we can get the Architectural
and Design details of SWT. Which will make the understanding of SWT
even better.

With Regards
Raj Kumar.
